^Community fCounty emergency services ; seeks dogs for assistance The McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (MCESDA) announced there will be a meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Wednes­ day, Oct. 23 for area dog owners who would like to offer their services when emergencies arise. The ex­ planatory meeting will be held in the operation room of the MCESDA sec­ tion of the County Courthouse at Woodstock. According to a spokesman, the dogs will be used mainly for track­ ing and would be called out when assistance is needed to locate miss­ ing people. "These people and their animals will fill an existing void in our Search and Rescue Mission. By hav­ ing a unit like this available here in McHenry County, we will have an edge especially during the inclement weather when time is essential," the spokesman said. A missing person is usually re­ ported to a police department who conducts an inquiry into the circum­ stances. If a search is warranted, the police call MCESDA who have about 250 volunteers who are trained in various degress of expertise. Of­ ten the local fire, rescue unit is summoned. The cannine division will need training and organization and this is the direction that the Oct. 3 meeting will take. An expert dog handler, Steve Townsend, of Lake County Emergency Services Agency, will outline the training program and animal pre-requisites. Any interest­ ed dog owner is invited to attend. It will not be necessary to bring your dog to this initial meeting. Advance registration for the class is required. You can register by calling the MCESDA office at 338- 6400. Applicants must be 16 years of age or older and reside close to McHenry County. There ae 15 other volunteer divi­ sions that are part of MCESDA.. Inquiries are invited. They include: Administrative.

Foltz will be celebrating their 50th wedding : anniversary on Saturday, Oct. 5,1965. They were married Oct. 5, '1935, in Olney, 111. The couple are the parents of three children and •the family invites all relatives and friends to an open house on 'Sunday, Oct. 6, from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The .'open house will be held at St. Patrick's Parish (Muldoon Hall), 3500 -W. Washington St., McHenry. The couple requests no gifts. (continued from page 1) cer," Sugden said. "That's ridiculous. "We (Homeowners Party) decid­ ed to run so we could get a handle on this kind of thing. Duane has done a good job on the roads, they're better than when I first moved in and I have to give her credit for that, but she's got to understand that we aren't going to always act on her whims. We have an obligation to the public to at least take a long look at it. If we don't get any other bids, that's fine, but we should at least see if we can get a lower bid. "The law is gray enough to at least talk about it. The municipal code says 'whenever practical take a bid.' If it were a $100 project or $1,000 we could absorb that, but we've got to go slow on a $40,000 project," Sugden said. "We're for the project and think its a good idea, but let's do it above board. There is nothing wrong with opening bidding. I think it shows that the board is operating in an open system." The Geske and Sons bid was sealed after the board voted to open bidding. The village will advertize for bids until their next regular meeting, Oct. 22. The project would begin in July 1986. Village Public Works Director A1 Zeman, who se­ cured the Geske bid, said he thought Geske's bid would stand until bids are closed. ^Contract (continued from page 1) * Although the basket of goodies bounds too good to have been jhelved for so long, Olsen said it wasn't a matter of choice. I "The problem was there was no appropriate investor," she explained. * Hotel chain owners are looking for « different set of demographics than tyhat the area provides. * The McHenry hotel builder, John Jyshenko, is the appropriate fcivestor. •» "He's accustomed to owning and Operating a hotel on an independent basis," she said. Tyshenko operates a hotel out of Lake Geneva. * In the past, businesses that showed an interest in McHenry with­ drew it after discovering the city bad no hotel. * McHenry is "a prime location," said Olsen. "It's the hub of Rock- ford, Chicago and Milwaukee." However, having no room accom­ modations meant the loss of many interested businesses and inflow of money into the community. The new hotel should put McHenry in the spotlight again. The three- story building will provide banquet seating for 425 people, and can be broken into several rooms for con­ current meetings, Olsen explained. Besides hoping to attract business to the area, the approved new hotel will accommodate existing industry and the community. Relatives and friends of patients staying at Northern Illinois Medical Center can stay near the hospital. Families hosting reunions can rest easy about sleeping accommoda­ tions. And area businesses can spon­ sor regional meetings. Community Calendar SEPT. 26 McH. Moose Ldg.-New Members Enrollment--7:30 p.m.-Food Served.
